Our strategy
A note from our CEO, Laura
With the UK’s 2030 climate commitments fast approaching, this is a critical moment to strengthen democractic engagement, amplify community voices, and push for ambitious, inclusive climate and nature action.
Our strategy comes not only from a place of hope, but from the pressing need to act swiftly and decisively.
We know that our journey will require resilience, adaptability, and a flexible approach that responds to the external context. But, what remains at the heart of this strategy is the belief in the power of the ordinary person to make real change for the future of people, planet and nature.

Mid-Strategy Report June 2026
We're halfway through our strategy period and we're pleased to introduce our mid-strategy impact report for January 2025 - June 2026. This report explores how we are supporting communities across the UK to turn climate and nature concern into political influence.
Communities at the forefront of change
To position communities at the heart of climate and nature policy in alignment with the UK's 2030 commitments.
To strengthen the ability of underrepresented groups and those most affected by the climate and nature crises to have a stronger voice in the democratic process and connect with their politicians.
To ensure climate and nature campaigns at all scales are more effective as a result of enhanced collaboration, democratic engagement tools and skill sharing.
To actively mobilise communities with a flexible approach, allowing us to respond rapidly and strategically to external changes in policy and practice. This enables us to make a meaningful impact for communities and organisations striving to influence climate and nature policy.
A strong and resilient charity
To strengthen and maintain the resilience of the charity, so that our work is sustainable, grows its impact and creates lasting change for people, the climate and nature.
To conduct research and foster learning to strengthen our work and enhance climate and nature campaigning at both grassroots and organisational levels.
To ensure Hope for the Future is a financially sustainable charity with a diverse income model.
